April 29, 2026 NMPPA Master Class 

 

 

We’re excited to invite you to this week’s NMPPA Master Class—another opportunity to sharpen your skills and connect with fellow procurement professionals!


?? Master Class Title:  
 From Need to Negotiation: Mastering Requirements Planning in Procurement


?? What You’ll Learn:
Strong procurement outcomes start long before the solicitation is issued. In this session, you’ll learn how to identify and define needs, engage key stakeholders, and gather the right information to ensure your procurement process delivers the right product or service—on time, within budget, and to specification. Whether you’re a stakeholder working with procurement, a seasoned buyer, or new to the procurement field, this webinar will provide actionable steps to strengthen your requirements planning and set your projects up for success.


?? Date: Wednesday, April 29, 2026

? Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM (MT)


?? Presenter: Sydnee Distance

?? Why Attend?

By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:

  • Spot opportunities to plan proactively instead of reacting to last-minute requests.
  • Ask the right questions to define clear, competitive requirements.
  • Work with the right stakeholders to get the “5 Rights” of procurement.
  • Separate needs from wants to save time and money.
  • Factor in outside requirements that could affect your project.

This session is designed to give you practical tools, real-world insights, and strategies you can immediately apply in your procurement role.
